Advice on deep frying a Mars bar.......

[V!N]

That's it!! But how do you get the batter crisp without melting the chocolate inside??

Just wash it down with a pint of gravy and you won't taste it.

What would you do for a deep-fried Mars Bar?

Okay... This is just plain messed up.

Who stickied this?

 

[hudpucker]

That's considered 'redneck food' up this way.

But....I've never tried one so....

Sorry, that was me. I've put it right now.

I've never done a mars bar but I have deep-fried ice cream. For ice cream you roll a ball if ice cream in crushed cereal (Special K works well) and then freeze it HARD (-10F) so you can drop it in hot, (400F) clean, oil and get a crisp coating before the stuff melts. Ten to fifteen seconds max. drizzle with caramel, garnish with whipped cream, serve immediately.

When you batter coat something, the batter doesn't adhere well if it is smooth and frozen (like fish filets) so a trick is to thaw slightly, dredge the item in seasoned flour and re-freeze so the item has textured surface for the batter to stick to. For a mars bar I'd season the flour with a bit of cinnamon and sugar if anything at all. Dust the bar and freeze (0F is probably fine for something like chocolate that's essentially solid at room temp) Shake off any excess, and dip it in batter. Any kind will do. Tempura might be nice and light.

I fry in a commercial deep-fryer with the flame isolated and a fire extinguishing system all primed and ready, I assume you don't have that, so be careful.

Peanut oil is good but it's expensive, especially outside the US. It gets very hot without smoking and doesn't alter the flavor of the food much. Fill your pan less than half full, wear heavy leather gloves and use a frybasket. I hope I don't need to tell a Brit how to fry things, I think you invented it. No need to fry it through all you want is the coating to cook. It'll be tasty right away, but it won't keep more than a few minutes before getting pretty nasty.

I like my candy bars raw, just like i like my vegetables!!

Is it just regular batter or is it beer batter??

Regular. How can you even be asking that? We Scots invented the bloody thing!

 

[colchar]

How about adding Buckfast instead of beer then??

I didn't realize he was from Glesga.

Coat the Mars Bar in the batter and drop it into the chip pan when the oil is nice and hot (as hot as would be needed for chips or fritters). The batter will seal around the Mars Bar and none will leak out. The chocolate will melt though, because it is supposed to, but it will be contained within the batter.

Do you think I should take some Lube...or will fast frets work??

Well you folks in the northeast are the experts when it comes to shagging sheep so use your best judgment.

Good lord people....I guess this Texan has to tell you how to get this done.

We are the experts at this type of thing...just look at our state fair.

Take the Mars Bar and toss it in a mixture of sugar and powdered sugar. Then Freeze overnight.

Completely cover the Mars Bar in mixed then cooled Funnel Cake Batter (available at any Wal Mart).

fry the Mars bar in a deep fryer until lightly brown. drizze with chocolate sauce and powdered sugar and serve with a scoop of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream.


You're welcome.

We Scots have our own way of doing it and, since we invented the damned thing, I'm pretty sure we know what we're doing.

I tried a fried Mars Bar when I was in Edinburgh recently. I was surprised how good it tasted!

Well, be it that my surname is Pockrus and I'm only one generation removed from the boat myself, So sorry of me to put our "regional" twist on it.

I'm from Edinburgh and I've never tasted one..Maybe I should..I love chocolatey things I could finish it off with some pickled onion flavour Monster Munch..

There is a place a long the Royal Mile, food there was good. He has some strange food for sure. Food that I never thought you could eat fried
The Mars bar was real good though, only ate half of one, it does taste sweeter melted.
